Exploring Music Dynamics Through Children’s Literature

Abstract

Language sometimes creates confusion when teaching music concepts to children. Incorporating children’s literature may further enhance children’s comprehension of music vocabulary when preceded by listening and moving experiences, as well as singing and playing instruments. The Quiet Book, and its companion, The Loud Book! both authored by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Renata Liwska provide reading experiences for exploring the basic dual nature of dynamics. Reading these books provides children with practice of music-specific vocabulary that aids in laying a foundation for later, and more complex, verbal music descriptions.
